Filmmaker Kevin Donovan, whose commercials and music videos have garnered international recognition, made his feature film-directing debut in 2002 with the DreamWorks action comedy THE TUXEDO starring Jackie Chan and Jennifer Love Hewitt. With a subtle and intelligent sense of humor, Kevin takes great care in casting, adding an element of the bizarre to any idea. His training as a visual artist gives him the unique ability to sketch his own ideas and bring stories to life even before a frame has been shot. Hailing from Montana, Kevin played football for Montana State University before pursuing his film career. He attended Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, and then moved to New York, becoming a creative at Cliff Freeman and Partners, BBDO, Levine Huntley Schmidt & Beaver and J. Walter Thompson. Kevin’s numerous awards have included five Cannes Lions, and he has had over twenty commercials short-listed at the festival. He won a Silver Lion at Cannes in 2000 for University of California, and in the same year, a Bronze for “The Rant” for Molson Canadian, which is one of the most successful commercials in Canada’s history. He recently won awards at the New York Film Festival for his satirical re-imagining of MARCH OF THE PENGUINS. Kevin’s work has been featured in AdCritic, Marketing, Shots, Boards, and Shoot magazines. His American Heart Association sixty-second spot aired twice in last year’s Super Bowl. Kevin’s commercial clients have included Ford, Pontiac, Toyota, Pepsi, McDonalds, Coca Cola, Lever Brothers, Viagra, Wendy’s, Sharpie, Planter’s Peanuts, Nestea, Cadbury and Wild Aid. Kevin continues to pursue directing and writing, both in features and commercials, and loves to bring his own brand of humorous style to each project.
